마거릿 애트우드의 『고양이 눈』에 나타난 수치의 눈

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article aims to examine the emotion of shame related to gaze in the field of vision and analyze the influence of shame on the formation and development of the gendered ego of a female protagonist, Elaine Risley, intermingled with relations between women characters in Margaret Atwood’ Cats Eye, focusing on the sociopolitical and cultural norms that affect the emotion of shame. It also investigates the effect of feelings of shame on the growth of woman subjects and female relationships by looking through Elaine’s memory of shame. Shame is the emotion related to disgust, anger, and fear among various ones, and the sense of shame comes especially from social gaze in the eyes of others seeing me and in the eyes of me seeing myself, which plays an important role in forming one’s subjectivity. In particular, the sense of shame given to Elaine by Cordelia and Mrs. Smeath, who represent the gender binarism and high-class cultural norms of the time in Toronto, Canada, plays a key role in Elaines subject formation and growth in Cats Eye. This paper sheds light on the significance and limitations of how the emotion of shame forms female identity and complicated love-hate ambivalence between women characters owing to the prevailing contemporary norms of gender dichotomy and the class regulations of the modernizing Canadian city in the mid 20<SUP>th</SUP> century.
